If someone shoulder bumps you, whether they did it on purpose or not, and you attack them, you will be seen as the aggressor. It does not matter if it is a woman or man. Black markers are an attack also.

I do not see that your life is being threatened. You may think it should not happen and you may be right, but defending your dignity went out when men stopped dueling.

When I have fought back at bullies they only fought the harder. Avoiding conflict is the wisest path in my eyes. That can mean swallowing pride and avoiding arguments. It isn't easy, but others are just as ticked off as you appear to be. Many are living near the edge of poverty and survival. They are like a tinder box ready to explode with a little match. Seeing things from their point of view may avoid conflict.
Firstly, I am old and white and infirm and living on SSDI. I AM NEAR THE EDGE OF POVERTY AND SURVIVAL. Further, I have been feeling suicidal for months. Being bullied by strangers on the street is a major contributor to my current emotional state because it's happening so often. If society cannot be civilized then I don't want to be a part of it; I don't want to be alive. I don't care if people are minorities or poor or women - if they are not civilized and what to fight then I will fight back. I am fighting for my life everyday AND I WILL NO LONGER BE ABUSED LIKE I WAS WHEN I WAS A CHILD. As a gay man I have experienced prejudice my entire life AND I AM TIRED OF IT. People who bully me are not deserving of sympathy and I refuse to feel sorry for such low lifes. I have the right to defend myself from bodily harm. And, I will.
